WORK MACHINE
A work machine provided with an exhaust gas purifying device includes a selective catalytic reducing device that performs treatment on exhaust gas of an engine, and a reducing agent injection device that injects a reducing agent into exhaust gas to be supplied to the selective catalytic reducing device. The work machine is provided with a housing that delimits an engine room accommodating the engine and the exhaust gas purifying device. The housing includes a top board that covers the engine room above the engine, and an exhaust duct that is provided in the top board and discharges the air in the engine room to the outside of the engine room. A part of a reducing agent supply pipe for guiding the reducing agent to the reducing agent injection device is disposed in the exhaust duct in a position above the reducing agent injection device.
HONEYCOMB-TYPE HEATING DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A honeycomb-type heating device includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb substrate that has partition walls defining a plurality of cells and that has a circumferential wall surrounding the partition walls; a plurality of heaters adjacently arranged on a circumferential face in a circumferential direction of the circumferential face that is an outer surface of the circumferential wall; a coated wire electrically connecting the plurality of heaters; and a metal case housing the honeycomb substrate and the plurality of heaters. Each of the plurality of heaters has an electrode for energization and is a resistance heating type heater that generates heat due to energization, the metal case has hole parts for protruding the electrodes of respective heaters to the outside of the metal case, and the coated wire electrically connects, outside the metal case, the electrodes of respective heaters protruding to the outside of the metal case from the hole parts.
Exhaust heat recovery structure
There is provided an exhaust heat recovery structure that may suppress boiling of coolant in a heat exchanger. The exhaust heat recovery structure includes a first pipe, a second pipe, a valve and a thermostat. Exhaust gas from an engine flows in the first pipe. The second pipe branches from the first pipe and a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the coolant and exhaust gas is provided at the second pipe. The valve is provided at the first pipe or the second pipe. The valve adjusts a flow amount of exhaust gas flowing into the second pipe by opening and closing. The thermostat is equipped with a heat-sensing portion that is disposed inside the heat exchanger. When the temperature of the heat-sensing portion is high, the thermostat opens or closes the valve to reduce the flow amount of exhaust gas flowing into the second pipe.
EXHAUST HEAT RECOVERY DEVICE
An exhaust heat recovery device including a heat exchange portion, an exhaust branch portion, and an exhaust distribution portion, wherein the heat exchange portion comprises a pillar-shaped honeycomb body having a first end face and a second end face, and a casing accommodating the honeycomb body, the exhaust branch portion has a branch path that branches a path of exhaust gas flowing into the honeycomb body into a central portion and an outer circumferential portion in a cross-section orthogonal to an axial direction of the honeycomb body, and the exhaust distribution portion has an exhaust distribution mechanism that adjusts a heat recovery amount by changing an airflow resistance of the path of the exhaust gas in the central portion of the honeycomb body and varying the exhaust amount passing through the path of the exhaust gas in the outer circumferential portion of the honeycomb body.
Induction heating apparatus and methods
An assembly for use in treating gaseous exhaust emissions has an inductive heater mounted next to a gaseous emissions treatment unit. and downstream substrate units or upstream and downstream sections of a single substrate. The upstream unit or section has linear passages extending the length of the first substrate body for the passage of emissions gas but with some of the passages blocked by metal inserts for use in inductive heating of the upstream unit. The concentration of metal inserts is high and the metal inserts are distributed to enable rapid intense inductive heating of the slice or section to achieve light off temperature rapidly in order to pass heat-supplemented gaseous emissions at light-off temperature to the downstream substrate or section as quickly as possible.
Exhaust device of engine
An exhaust device of an engine, with an exhaust path to lead exhaust gas discharged from the engine to outside, the exhaust device comprising: an exhaust heat collector being configured to collect heat from the exhaust gas, and a cooling part being configured to cool down the exhaust heat collecting part from an outer peripheral side via a cooling fluid; and an exhaust gas flow controlling member in a cylindrical shape, comprising an inlet part and an outlet part where the inflow of the exhaust gas is discharged to an upstream side of the exhaust heat collecting part. An opening diameter of the outlet part is arranged to be smaller than an outer diameter of the exhaust heat collecting part. The exhaust gas flow controlling member is placed so that an open end of the outlet part opposes a central portion of an upstream end plane of the exhaust heat collecting part. The open end of the outlet part and the upstream end plane of the exhaust heat collecting part are a predetermined distance apart.
Condensing heat exchanger system
An integrated reaction condensing heat exchanger system (IRCHX) may be installed in a fossil power plant flue gas treatment system. More particularly, the IRCHX system may be used for recovering water from combustion flue gas by phase change to reduce fresh water consumption in fossil power plants including coal-, oil- and gas-fired plants. To recover water from flue gas, the IRCHX system may be installed in a current flue gas treatment system in a new or existing power plant, which allows power plants to save fresh water consumption up to 20%. Additionally, it benefits: 1) low temperature heat recovery after economizer, 2) lower exhaust temperature of flue gas at stack, 3) lower moisture contents in exhaust flue gas at stack, and 4) reduced acid emission in flue gas at stack.

A combustor is adapted to receive and combust an oxidant from the oxidant system and a fuel from the fuel system to produce an exhaust gas. A catalyst unit including an oxidation catalyst that includes an oxygen storage component is configured to reduce the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas to form a low oxygen content product gas.
System and method for treating gas turbine exhaust gas
A system and method for treating turbine exhaust gas for improved operational flexibility includes a turbine exhaust gas discharge structure, a catalytic turbine exhaust gas treatment device positioned at least partially within the turbine exhaust gas discharge structure, a pump, and at least two heat exchangers. A first heat exchanger is positioned at least partially within the turbine exhaust gas discharge structure to remove heat from turbine exhaust gas by transferring heat to a working fluid. A second heat exchanger removes heat from the working fluid gained at the first heat exchanger. The pump drives the working fluid between the first and second heat exchanger. In a further embodiment, the catalytic turbine exhaust gas treatment device is replaced by a heat recovery steam generator.
